Interesting info on the new Civic. Engine choices & available 6 speed on the basic model (vs. CVT) made for enjoyable read. Surprisingly good FE on either the 1.5 turbo or the 2.0 naturally aspirated. Something like 31/42/35 MPG for both.

I went into that article pretty skeptical as I am really not a fan of the civic, at least not my wife's 09. They are great cars for the price and you get good value for your money but her base model I just don't care for. It's under-powered(my opinion), somewhat harsh ride, uncomfortable, ridiculously amounts of road noise in the cabin, seats offer no support, mpg's are not that great shes lucky if she averages 28 with mixed driving.

I must admit it looks like Honda has addressed all the issues I seem to have with previous models. We were leaning towards a hybrid accord for her next vehicle but the new civic might be a contender especially if you can get in a brand new fully loaded civic for around $25k-27k.

Car & Driver gave the 1.5 turbo a positive review as well.

When they take the same mindset they had when the S2000 became a reality, I will know Honda has finally arrived (again).
